After coming out, Mitch had to change schools because of all the bullying. Unfortunately, the bullying didn't stop there, even though he didn't even know anyone at this new school.
One day, during his first week at the new school, the bullying got a step further than it'd ever been. He'd just walked into the cafeteria when some jocks walked up to him and started beating him, while making fun of him.
He was on the floor, when someone came between him and the bully. "Hey!" The blonde called to the bully. "Leave him alone!"
The bully laughed. "Is this your boyfriend, faggot?" Tear sprang to Mitch's eyes. The blonde on the other hand only seemed angrier at those words.
"So what if I am?" He asked. "It's not because you can't deal with being gay, that you get to make others feel bad." The bully stammered out a denial, before turning bright red and left, followed by his friends.
The blonde helped Mitch up and walked him to the infirmary. "Thank you." Mitch whispered, looking at the ground. No one had ever defended him like this.
"You're welcome. I'm Scott, by the way." The blonde smiled at the smaller boy.
"I'm Mitch. Nice to meet you, Scott." The brunette smiled shyly at the boy who'd helped him.
"You're new here, aren't you?" Scott asked, just before opening the door to the infirmary.
"Yeah," Mitch confirmed, following the other boy into the small room.
"Hi Scott!" The school nurse greeted. "Don't tell me they started bullying you again?"
Scott chuckled and shook his head. "No, but they did get Mitch here," he said pointing to the brunette.
The nurse sighed exasperatedly. "Oh, poor kid, you're bleeding. I hope they didn't hurt you too bad?" She asked, making Mitch sit down, so she could take a look at the wounds.
"I'm okay. It could have been worse if Scott didn't rescue me." Mitch said, smiling shyly at the other teen, before casting his look down. The blonde was leaning against the wall, waiting for the nurse to finish helping Mitch.
Once she was done, the boys left the infirmary. "So," Scott started, "I was wondering if you'd like to hang out after school?" He asked, looking anywhere but at the brunette.
"Yes!" Mitch almost yelled, before trying to act cool, "I mean, sure why not." Scott chuckled and nodded.
"Cool," he said smiling. "Meet me at the cafeteria after school?" Mitch agreed and walked to his next class.
